Her plans to solve the mystery of its toxic bite take her into the jungles of Java, where a shocking discovery awaits.

“Last night I saw one of the best wildlife documentaries that I have seen in a very long time. The Natural World on BBC2 gave us an insight into the mysterious world of the slow loris. It really was an excellent programme and well worth watching on i-player if you missed the broadcast yesterday.” Daily Mail – Kevin Heath 26th Jan 2012.
